State Treasurer Vincent Neatly Cap. tured After Being Four Years at Large.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 15.-Isaac H. Vincent, defaulting State treasurer of Ala bama, has at last been captured by E. O. Ray, deputy sheriff of Parker county, Texas. The prisoner arrived here to-day in charge of Ray and was taken to jeil. The arrest was made at Big Sandy, Wood county, Texas, on Sunday last at 4 o'clock am. Vim cent stepped off train unconcernedly un- suspecting of apprehension. When he was confronted by Ray with cooked revolver in his hand Vincent thinking the officer Was highwayman threw up his hands stating that him for the crime of embezzlement and not for his money. Vincent at once broke com pletely down, cried bitterly and begged the officer not to take him back to his old home handouffed, promising to waive the formali- ty of a requisition. The officer complied with the request and brought him direct to Montgomery, arriving here at 1 p. ID. When the news spread that Vim cent had been brought back the ex-
 
 gathered at the jail to catch glimpse of the prisoner and knots assembled on the streets and discussed the arrest and bringing back of the noted fugitive. It has long been sus- pected here that Vincent was in Mexico, oc- oasionally making trips to Texas where his family is said to live. They left here about year or so after his flight and it is supposed went to Texas where they have been since. Vincents flight on January 29, 1883, his em- bezzlement of $225, ,OOO of State funds which and the efforts of detectives to arrest him are matters of history. It remained for simple deputy sheriff, assisted by the active co o-operation of the present State executive, to finally run down this noted defaulter. Vincent always commanded the respect of his fellows, was popular and even now com mands the sympathy of the people on ac count of his interesting family. He is broken down completely, is haggard and worn and looks twenty years older than when he left here

 of Commissioner Tarbox.
 BOSTON, March 15.-Insuranee Conmis- sioner Farbox has issued that part of his nual report which relates to the fire and ma rne insurance. He says the condition of the 195 companies doing business in the State is remarkably satisfactory. The mum Der of fires during 1886 was ,920 above the aver age; loss $4, 579, ,530 above the average; in- surance paid $3, ,445, ,129; loss to property holders $1, ,133, ,391. Of the principal causes of fire incendiarism is charged with 289; de fects in chimneys 168; use of infammable oils 131; carelessness with matches 116; over
 heated stoves 63; spontaneous combus- tion 61. The whole business of the fire and marine companies, foreign and domestic, for and at the close of 1886, as compared with 1885. shows an increase of $14 TAI, ,132 in assets and of $5,S06, I'll in liabilities; of $500, ,O71 ,217 in volume of fire and S31 ,O49, ,505 of marine insurance in force, an income increase of s, 9SS, ,396 against an increase of &, ,O15, ,6S7.in expend
 itures and an increase of $261, ,S70 in cash dividends and S,576, 300 in surplus. The increase of cash capital is 3,978.000. Our mutual fire companies increased the amount of their insurance by the sum of $25, 115,- s75. Their losses were $S67, ,4SO, an excess of $3O2, ,546 over 1885. Their cash income was $3, ASA ,469, their cash premiums $3,- 06S, ,515 and they returned in dividends to their polioyholders, after payment of losses and expenses, $1 ,64 ,928. or sixty per cent. of their cash premiums and added S96, ,067 to 1 their cash surplus. The exhibit of marine b0ai nv he nfb Stata | companies is less favorable, while in that | branch the companies of foreign countries have been singularly fortunate. The premi- ums and losses on Massachusetts business were: Fire-Massachusetts mutual compa- nies' loss S5. .43 per cent; Massachusetts joint stock companies 49. 75 per cent; other State companies 43.71 per cent; foreign compa- nies 46.65 per cent; totals 42.9S per cent.
